[QUOTE="gallowaygirl, post: 726609, member: 8844"] I wasn't trying to bash the breed, or those who raise them, obviously there are lots of breeders that raise a large number of animals, and without them, the feedlots would be a lot smaller. The program was very well done, kind of hard to watch in "segments" as I missed the airing on RFD-TV, but very well done, I haven't seen anything like it before. My one problem was that towards the end, talking about the origins and original breeders (Eisenhower and Paul Harvey segments) it was discussing Aberdeen Angus. While I know that the Angus of today descended from the Aberdeen, the Aberdeen Angus still exist, and are [b][i]much[/i][/b] different than the Angus cattle of today...frame, temperament, and genetics that are untainted and not over-used, resulting in hereditary diseases. Kind of misleading for those who might not know that. (I might add: the Aberdeen Angus were descendants of Galloways :banana: ) I value the Angus breed, and recognize that, in any breed, there are outstanding (and awful) animals. And for those that raise them, please remember to support your Association, they are doing a WONDERFUL job promoting the breed and the beef, which has led to the empire you are a part of (happy voice, not bad) I only wish that my breed association was that good-not bashing my own assocation, just recognize that it/I could do better. And for those that do raise them, I lied, I have three Angus x Galloway, two heifers and a steer. :dunce: [/QUOTE]
